I'm not supporting the Mavs no matter WHAT happens.

I didn't cry after the game as I was at a Mavs GTG but now I really do feel like crying.....all good things must come to end. We must hold our heads up high. Came back from 3-1 in the series.....were down by 20 points during the game and rallied back....I walk out of this series with some pride left in me
I sure am.
I'm just dumbfounded. We sat in awe and silence when the game ended, until some y usher lady yelled at us to leave because "nothing else is going to happen." Didn't speak on the drive home - have yet to speak since the game ended.
I'm not crying. I thought the Spurs acquitted themselves well. They should have won the damned series, but just a few years ago, we saw a Spurs team absolutely quit in a playoff series and this bunch fought their asses off to give themselves a chance to win when few thought they would.
A rosters that's slightly better developed and the Spurs can win it all next year. For now, though, props to the Mavs and the Spurs for the best series that I've ever seen. And congratulations to the Mavs fans; their team did what it needed to and won the series. That's the size of it.
i'm still in shock.
I had to bump this cause I didn't want to start another thread about the same subject but.... I was fine last night after the game and even today I was cool until I started to read a lot of the articles on places like espn.com and foxsports.com. I've noticed the common theme that people really don't like the Spurs. I mean don't get me wrong I already knew that for a fact Spurs haters existed in large numbers but damn its kinda outta control now.
I guess for the most part that when you win people don't say what they really feel because they don't want to be known as "haters" or what not but when you lose they love to kick you while your down. This was a great series and will go down in history as such but to see the team that I've cheered for since I was 5 be treated like a red headed step child is very disheartening. I guess I'm starting to know how Lakers and Bulls fans felt when they were on top.
I too cried a bit. I couldnt stand to watch after Finley missed that 3 pt attempt in final seconds. I changed the channel. It was so tough cause there were so many "what-ifs" that could have won games. Esp with this epic comeback that fell short. Manu's foul did it in for us. It would have been so perfect of a comeback in the series and in game 7 alone!! that suks so bad, would have rather lost game 6 if we were too lose the series. gotta go, im starting to tear up again....this suks
I was crying too, out of happiness
I'm crying now that I've had time to think about it. :boo hoo
"There's no crying in basketball!"
Mavs vs. Sun in the WCF. The wussification of the NBA is complete. Detroit has something to say about that!
May Mark Cuban's trophy case remain empty.
What gets lost in all of this, is that the Mavs were less than 30 seconds away from what would have been the biggest choke job in NBA history.
I was wondering that too.....you put them at the line...they make 2...you are still up by one with the ball and no 24 sec shot clock.....dribble out the clock unless they foul.....you shoot free throws and repeat the previous process until time expires you win but 1-2 pts and advance.
Also on the note of dirk getting bailed out....am I the only one who thinks that shot never should have even counted because Dirk got away with hooking Bowen to get around him before Manu was even close to the play?
Isn't this an offensive foul?
Have any males admitted to crying yet? It seems the only tears shed were from those with the bravatars.

So what does that say about your team, if you can't even beat a wuss team?
Dirk did actually push off a little to get some space from Bowen, but they're never going to call that on the offensive player in that situation. Do you think they'd call that on Duncan in that same situation. no! It isn't like he didn't get away with his little push offs during the game either.
Is there any thread in this forum that a Maverick fan feels he doesn't need to desecrate?
WTF?

Last time I checked I wasn't on Cuban's payroll, and I highly doubt any Mavs post on this board.
Also how is this desecrating the thread? I even admitted that Dirk got away with pushing off on Bowen. Sheeeesh!
I won't lie, I started to break down and cry during 1st period today. Embarrasing.
Sorry, I missed the "fan" after "Maverick". Although I didn't realize without it it would be that easy to misinterpret.
How, exactly, does that fit in to a "Did you cry when your favorite team just got knocked out of the playoffs" thread? Since you're a Dallas fan, that really doesn't apply to you, does it? How about a little courtesy and GTFO of it?
Back on topic:
And no, I didn't cry last night. I only cry at weddings, chickflicks, and when confetti falls from the rafters.
The only thing that really sucks is having to catch up on all of the stuff I put off at the beginning of SPAM.

I cried when Gino hit that 3 because we had fought so hard to come back. I didn't cry when we lost though because I was too upset.
They hit the wrong Twin Towers
Maybe....but the mavs don't blow 20 point leads without some "help"...cough...cough...if you know what I mean.. Jordan couldn't even come back from that defecit. Good game however....Mavs all the way!
You mean other than the seemingly natural course of events that follows when a team shoots a ridiculous percentage in one half? If you didn't see a comeback coming from a mile away last night, I'd argue that you don't know much about NBA basketball. When the Mavs were only up 14 after shooting 70% for the first half without an inordinate number of layups and dunks, I figured the Spurs would catch them. Teams don't shoot like that all night, and when the percentage falls, the comebacks start. As the Mavs percentage dipped toward 50%, the comeback was on.
What got the Spurs in the end was their inability to consistently rebound on the defensive end and one unfortunate decision by the very guy who got them back into the game with a gritty 4th quarter.
Good analysis.......THe 3rd was a little lop-sided, I don't care what anyone says. Even your beloved Steve Kerr said so....thank you, and have a nice fishing trip.........
